It is anticipated that revenue recognition will be ready by the end of the year.

These projects focus on privacy, proximity to urban areas, and upscale urban locations. Land acquisition for new developments is underway, actively expanding opportunities for business partnerships to accelerate sustained growth.

This includes enhancing the tourism experience and customer service, such as room upgrades. In the first quarter of 2024, renovated rooms commanded an ADR increase of 20-30%. For 2024-2025, plans include upgrading potential hotels in Thailand and the United Kingdom, building upon the initial renovation phase launched in 2023, as well as introducing new brand concepts to meet global travel trends.
